Uh Breaking News sidebar IS the place for real news.
I did not do any OMG posts or think it until I came to YOURS.
If you feel it is good idea to post humor on Breaking News thread to diffuse worry, how about you indicate it instead of letting someone read it in Latest posts.
After all, it is at to of Breaking News Sidebar, not Breakfast Bagel recipes vanities.
OK, I confess I never, EVER look for “breaking news”. I just look for the latest threads or posts. I didn’t realize that designation mattered to people in this way. I stand corrected. I apologize.
